Remote work is here to stay — but health and safety obligations don’t disappear when employees leave the office.
From poor posture and slips at home to fire hazards and mental health risks, home-based workers still face dangers that employers must address.
At Ireland Safety Training, we provide a fully online, CPD-certified Remote and Home-Based Worker Safety course, helping employers across Ireland and the UK maintain compliance, reduce risk, and support staff working from anywhere.
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (Ireland) and UK regulations, employers must:
Assess the risks of employees' work environments — even at home
Provide training and support for working safely
Monitor wellbeing, stress, and ergonomics remotely
Failing to address these responsibilities can result in:
Breaches of duty of care
Higher rates of injury or burnout
Legal liability for at-home incidents
Working from home can include:
Poor workstation setup (leading to back or neck pain)
Fire and electrical hazards
Mental health issues (isolation, stress, burnout)
Slips or trip hazards from cluttered work areas
Training helps employees set up safer spaces and adopt healthy habits.
When employees feel safe and supported at home:
Productivity increases
Sick days and stress leave decrease
Loyalty to the employer improves
It’s a win-win for people and performance.
Ideal for:
Remote employees and freelancers
Hybrid workers (office + home)
Line managers of remote teams
HR and compliance professionals
Team leaders in digital or flexible workplaces
Modules include:
Legal responsibilities for employers and employees
Risk assessment of home-based workstations
Ergonomics: setting up a safe desk and chair
Electrical and fire safety in home environments
Managing screen time and breaks
Maintaining mental wellbeing and routine
Communication and lone worker monitoring
Data protection awareness
Emergency contacts and incident reporting
Includes practical tips, home safety checklists, and a quiz for certification.
